If it's okay with you, that's all that matters.

Why do you want this piece in a teenagers lounge area would be my question, I would find that just annoying.

I think it's more important if it annoys you or not rather than if it's considered a 'no no' by others :) It would drive me insane, but if you don't mind it and want to keep the room layout as it is, then that's up to you.
I'd ask your son as well, obviously if it's a room meant for him and it annoys him then you'll have to think of an alternative arrangement.

Even if you're not too bothered about the damage I'd still suggest you look into getting some kind of protection for it - maybe some kind of foam pad you stick on the door to reduce the damage caused would seem like an easy fix.

Less of a no..no , and more of an uh..oh! You'll end up with a hole in the door.

thanks everyone..since our bedrooms are so small I am giving my daughter two rooms....I will post pics for help!

Can you have a pocket door installed? If not, how about a hanging door. I think it could be a safety issue.

Could you remove the door temporarily and use a beaded curtain (hey, it worked when I was young) or curtain panels?

bluenan....somethings should not be revisited, lol ;))

I think if the door is hitting the vanity than it doesn't fit in the space…so I would move it somewhere else.

Oh well, it was fun in my friend's hippie den bedroom in 1970...

Some 17 year olds like the bohemian, hippie, Marrakesh vibe, it can work with antiques. Maybe not in this case, but I predict a comeback of the beaded curtain, and remember, it keeps your teenager from doing anything you might not want them doing behind closed doors. :)
